Well, yes, heartbeat can manage more than two cluster members, but then resource management doesn't work very well (if at all) with such a configuration. I read that in the lists somewhere...

The examples only seem to deal with two-node clusters, but with some clever configuration it is possible, with the judicious use of broadcast/multicast heartbeats. There is also SGI's Linux Failsafe (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/failsafe/).
